(Continued from iHge t.
of Detectives W. G. Shellenbarg
er. Detectives Otto Phillips and
Harry Vanskiak, and Deputy Sher
iff Ralph Paal at one o 5 clock to
day, an hour after Snook broke
down, began to cry, and said he
murdered th e25 year old co-ed,
whose battered body was found
last Friday on the rifle range.
The confession climaxed 21
hours of almost continuous grill
ing of Snook at police headquar
ters and the county jail.
According to the confession
Snook met Miss Hix about three
years ago, and the friendship con
tinued in an "intimate way" since
then.
Money Paid Girl
For Her Education
During the three yers. Snook
said he aided her in her educa
tion, but that "I found out it was
not appreciated as much as I
thought it should be." Their as
sociation was 'not a love affair,"
and "they had not thought of mar-
rlace." Miss Hix, he claims, "de
veloped a mort determined attl
tute in regard to dictating my
movements." the confession said.
He said that the "final culmina
tion." of "this." occurred last
Thursday night. He met ber about
8:30 at 12th and High streets,
drove out to the rifle range in his
automobile, and that they began
to quarrel. The girl. Snook said,
threatened his wife and baby
with death It he dared go out of
tha, city for tha weekend with
them.
Hammer Placed In
Handy Lioration
He had the hammer on the
back part of the' seat of his car,
he said, and he put this in the
back of his machine as he drove
away. He went over the Quarry
bridge on the Scioto on the way
home and tossed Miss Hlx's parse,
from which the revolver was miss
ing,, into the water., He could not
account for the missing revolver
but believed it dropped out dur
ing the struggle.
In his confession Snook did not
- say that he killed her with the
hammer, he said he used it "to
quiet her.". He did may, however,
severed her Jugular with my
pocket kaife.H

Prosecutor Chester said he
would base his demand for a first
degree indictment on premedita
tion grounds, sayin? that Snook's
admissions would bring the death
penalty, whether or not the case
goes to trial before a Jury.
At the end of hia confession,
Snook declared that he made the
statement voluntarily.
The confession was withheld
this afternoon by Chester because
he had promised Snook, at the
latter's request, that it would not
be revealed until tomorrow. It
was indicated that Snook wanted
time to compose himself and pre
pare a statement f of the press.
There were many conflicting re
ports and rumors today of a con
fession. Three times befora noon
it was reported that Snook had

(AP) Barring accidents,
the coaches of all crews along the
Hudson now have decided upon
their boatings for the lnter-colle-giate
regatta Monday. A survey of
their selections today showed that
Columbia, will have the heaviest
varsity crew, California the tallest
and Cornell the oldest.
The fact that California's cham
pion Golden Bears rank no better
than fifth In point of average
weight may occasion some sur
prise but this is lessened when it
is noted that only a pound and a
quarter per man separates the
first crew in the weight table from
the fifth. Columbia averages 179
3-8 and California 178-18, The
other comparatively heavy crews
are Cornell,. Washington and Mas
sachusetts Tech.

PORTLAND, Ore., June 20. -
(AP) An ancient gunboat that
once hove to and fired a broadside
in Manila Bay with Admiral
Dewey's fleet at her side today be
came a commodity of barter and
a junk concern bought her.
The vessel is the U. S. S. Con
cord, which for the past 20 years
has been lying in the Columbia
river opposite Astoria, forgotten
and unsung. A Portland Junk
company's bid to naval officials
at Washington was accepted.
Now the craft, built at Chester.
Pa., in 1891, will be converted
into a barge.
The Concord was assigned to
the Columbia river as a quaran
tine boat, but not long ago a sur
vey was conducted and the craft
was ordered sold. In 1911 when
the cruiser Boston was assigned
by the navy to the Oregon naval
militia, the Concord was turned
over to the Washington naval mi
litia at Seattle and afterward was
replaced by the Vicksburg.

TO TELL OF WRECK
PORTLAND, Ore., June 20
(AP) Captain Louis Johnson,
master of the States Line steam
ship Laurel, which grounded off
the entrance of the Columbia
river last Sunday and cracked
amidships in a heavy gale, will
appear before the government
inspectors Saturday morning to
tell his version of the wreck.
The investigation started today

which one seaman lost his life
and five million feet of lumber
was lost, members of the crew
said the vessel grounded when
the rudder snapped.
At least six more men will be

Johnson was removed from the
battered ship yesterday after he
had maintained a solitary vigil
on the freighter since Monday.
